Shear-Stress Distribution Formula Elements

Variables
Shear Stress
Shear Stress is force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress.
Symbol: 𝜏
Measurement: StressUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Viscosity Coefficient
The Viscosity Coefficient is the ratio of applied stress to the rate of straining (change of strain with time).
Symbol: η
Measurement: Dynamic ViscosityUnit: Pa*s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Velocity Gradient
Velocity Gradient is the difference in velocity between the adjacent layers of the fluid.
Symbol: VG
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
